TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to protein kinase inhibitors, more particularly novel pyrimidine and pyridine derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and their use as pharmaceuticals.

BACKGROUND ART

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), a member of the insulin receptor superfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases, has been implicated in oncogenesis in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic tumors. The aberrant expression of full-length ALK receptor proteins has been reported in neuroblastomas and glioblastomas; and ALK fusion proteins have occurred in anaplastic large cell lymphoma. The study of ALK fusion proteins has also raised the possibility of new therapeutic treatments for patients with ALK-positive malignancies. (Pulford et al., Cell. Mol. Life. Sci. 61:2939-2953 (2004)).

Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) is a key enzyme in the integrin-mediated outside-in signal cascade (D. Schlaepfer et al., Prog Biophys Mol Biol 1999, 71, 43578). The trigger in the signal transduction cascade is the autophosphorylation of Y397. Phosphorylated Y397 is a SH2 docking site for Src family tyrosine kinases; the bound c-Src kinase phosphorylates other tyrosine residues in FAK. Among them, phsophorylated Y925 becomes a binding site for the SH2 site of Grb2 small adaptor protein. This direct binding of Grb2 to FAK is one of the key steps for the activation of down stream targets such as the Ras-ERK2/MAP kinase cascade.

Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP-70), a member of the protein tyrosine kinase family, is of potential prognostic importance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). ZAP-70, known to be of importance in T and NK cell signaling but absent in normal peripheral B cells, is expressed in the majority of the poorer prognosis unmutated CLL and absent in most cases with mutated IgVH genes. ZAP-70 is also expressed in a minority of other B cell tumors. (Orchard et al., Leuk. Lymphoma 46:1689-98 (2005)).

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) signaling is highly implicated in cancer, with the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) as the predominating factor. IGR-1R is important for tumor transformation and survival of malignant cells, but is only partially involved in normal cell growth. Targeting of IGF-1R has been suggested to be a promising option for cancer therapy. (Larsson et al., Br. J. Cancer 92:2097-2101 (2005)).

Because of the emerging disease-related roles of ALK, FAK, ZAP-70 and IGF-1R, there is a continuing need for compounds which may be useful for treating and preventing a disease which responds to inhibition of ALK, FAK, ZAP-70 and/or IGF-1R.

Pharmacology and Utility

The compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts exhibit valuable pharmacological properties when tested in vitro in cell-free kinase assays and in cellular assays, and are therefore useful as pharmaceuticals.

In one aspect, compounds of Formula (1), (2), (3A), (3B), (4A), (4B) or (5) may inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and the fusion protein of NPM-ALK. This protein tyrosine kinase results from a gene fusion of nucleophosmin (NPM) and ALK, rendering the protein tyrosine kinase activity of ALK ligand independent. NPM-ALK plays a key role in signal transmission in a number of hematopoetic and other human cells leading to hematological and neoplastic diseases, for example in anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), specifically in ALK+NHL or Alkomas, in inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) and neuroblastomas. (Duyster et al. 2001 Oncogene 20, 5623-5637). In addition to NPM-ALK, other gene fusions have been identified in human hematological and neoplastic diseases; for example, TPM3-ALK (a fusion of nonmuscle tropomyosin with ALK).

The inhibition of ALK tyrosine kinase activity may be demonstrated using known methods, for example using the recombinant kinase domain of the ALK in analogy to the VEGF-R kinase assay described in J. Wood et al. Cancer Res. 60, 2178-2189 (2000). In general, in vitro enzyme assays using GST-ALK protein tyrosine kinase are performed in 96-well plates as a filter binding assay in 20 mM Tris HCl, pH=7.5, 3 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM MnCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 μCi/assay (=30 μl) [γ-³³P]-ATP, 2 μM ATP, 3 μg/mL poly (Glu, Tyr 4:1) Poly-EY (Sigma P-0275), 1% DMSO, 25 ng ALK enzyme. Assays are incubated for 10 min at ambient temperature. Reactions are terminated by adding 50 μl of 125 mM EDTA, and the reaction mixture is transferred onto a MAIP Multiscreen plate (Millipore, Bedford, Mass., USA), previously wet with methanol, and rehydrated for 5 min with H₂O. Following washing (0.5% H₃PO₄), plates are counted in a liquid scintillation counter. IC₅₀ values are calculated by linear regression analysis of the percentage inhibition.

Compounds of Formula (1), (2), (3A), (3B), (4A), (4B) or (5) may potently inhibit the growth of human NPM-ALK overexpres sing murine BaF3 cells (DSMZ Deutsche Sammiung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen GmbH, Germany). The expression of NPM-ALK may be achieved by transfecting the BaF3 cell line with an expression vector pClneo™ (Promega Corp., Madison Wis., USA) coding for NPM-ALK and subsequent selection of G418 resistant cells. Non-transfected BaF3 cells depend on IL-3 for cell survival. In contrast, NPM-ALK expressing BaF3 cells (named BaF3-NPM-ALK hereinafter) can proliferate in the absence of IL-3 because they obtain proliferative signal through NPM-ALK kinase. Putative inhibitors of the NPM-ALK kinase therefore abolish the growth signal and may result in antiproliferative activity. The antiproliferative activity of putative inhibitors of the NPM-ALK kinase can however be overcome by addition of IL-3, which provides growth signals through an NPM-ALK independent mechanism. An analogous cell system using FLT3 kinase has also been described (see, E Weisberg et al. Cancer Cell; 1, 433-443 (2002)).

The inhibitory activity of the compounds of the invention may be determined as follows. In general, BaF3-NPM-ALK cells (15,000/microtitre plate well) are transferred to 96-well microtitre plates. Test compounds dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are added in a series of concentrations (dilution series) in such a manner that the final concentration of DMSO is not greater than 1% (v/v). After the addition, the plates are incubated for two days during which the control cultures without test compound are able to undergo two cell-division cycles. The growth of the BaF3-NPM-ALK cells is measured by means of YOPRO™ staining [T Idziorek et al. J. Immunol. Methods; 185: 249-258 (1995)]: 25 μl of lysis buffer comprising 20 mM sodium citrate, pH 4.0, 26.8 mM sodium chloride, 0.4% NP40, 20 mM EDTA and 20 mM is added to each well. Cell lysis is completed within 60 min at room temperature and total amount of YOPRO™ bound to DNA is determined by measurement using the Cytofluor II 96-well reader (PerSeptive Biosystems) with the following settings: Excitation (nm) 485/20 and Emission (nm) 530/25.

IC₅₀ values may be determined by a computer-aided system using the formula:

IC₅₀=[(ABS_(test)−ABS_(start))/(ABS_(control)−ABS_(start))]×100. (ABS=absorption)

The IC₅₀ value in those experiments is given as that concentration of the test compound in question that results in a cell count that is 50% lower than that obtained using the control without inhibitor. The compounds of the invention in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, may exhibit valuable pharmacological properties, for example, as indicated by the in vitro tests described in this application. In general, compounds of the invention have IC₅₀ values from 1 nM to 10 μM. In some examples, compounds of the invention have IC_(so) values from 0.01 μM to 5 μM. In other examples, compounds of the invention have IC₅₀ values from 0.01 μM to 1 μM, or more particularly from 1 nM to 1 μM. In yet other examples, compounds of the invention have IC₅₀ values of less than 1 nM or more than 10 μM. The compounds of the invention may exhibit a percentage inhibition of greater than 50%, or in other embodiments, may exhibit a percentage inhibition greater than about 70%, against ALK at 10 μM.

The antiproliferative action of the inventive compounds may also be determined in the human KARPAS-299 lymphoma cell line (DSMZ Deutsche Sammiung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany, described in W G Dirks et al. Int. J. Cancer 100, 49-56 (2002)) using the same methodology described above for the BaF3-NPM-ALK cell line. In some embodiments, compounds of the invention may exhibit inhibitory activity with an IC₅₀ in the range from approximately 0.01 to 1 μM. The action of the inventive compounds on autophosphorylation of the ALK may be determined in the human KARPAS-299 lymphoma cell line by means of an immunoblot as described in W G Dirks et al. Int. J. Cancer 100, 49-56 (2002).

In another aspect, the compounds of the invention may inhibit Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK), and may be useful as pharmaceuticals to treat conditions caused by a malfunction of signal cascades connected with FAK, such as in the treatment of particular tumors. The inhibition of endogenous FAK signaling results in reduced motility, and in some cases induces cell death. On the other hand, enhancing FAK signaling by exogenous expression increases cell motility. In addition, FAK is overexpressed in invasive and metastatic epithelial, mesenchymal, thyroid and prostate cancers. Consequently, an inhibitor of FAK is likely to be a drug for anti-tumor growth and metastasis. The compounds of the invention may thus be useful to prevent and/or treat a vertebrate and more particularly a mammal, affected by a neoplastic disease, in particular breast tumor, cancer of the bowel (colon and rectum), stomach cancer and cancer of the ovary and prostate, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, cancer of liver, melanoma, bladder tumor and cancer of head and neck.

The relation between FAK inhibition and immuno-system is described e.g. in G. A. van Seventer et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 2001, 31, 1417-1427. Therefore, the compounds of the invention are, for example, useful to prevent and/or treat a vertebrate and more particularly a mammal, affected by immune system disorders, diseases or disorders mediated by T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, mast cells and/or eosinophils e.g. acute or chronic rejection of organ or tissue allo- or xenografts, atherosclerosis, vascular occlusion due to vascular injury such as angioplasty, restenosis, hypertension, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, CNS disease such as Alzheimer disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; cancer; infectious disease such as AIDS; septic shock or adult respiratory distress syndrome, ischemia/reperfusion injury e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke, gut ischemia, renal failure or hemorrhage shock, or traumatic shock.

In yet another aspect, the compounds of the invention may inhibit zeta chain-associate protein 70 (ZAP-70). ZAP-70 protein tyrosine kinase interaction of the agents of the invention may be demonstrated, for example, by their ability to prevent phosphorylation of LAT-11 (linker for activation of T cell) by human ZAP-70 protein tyrosine kinase in aqueous solution. Therefore, the compounds of the invention may be useful for the prevention or treatment of disorders or diseases where ZAP-70 inhibition plays a role.

The compounds of the invention may also inhibit insulin like growth-factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R), and may be useful in the treatment of IGF-1 R mediated diseases. Examples of IGF-1R mediated diseases include but are not limited to proliferative diseases, such as tumors, for example breast, renal, prostate, colorectal, thyroid, ovarian, pancreas, neuronal, lung, uterine and gastro intestinal tumors, as well as osteosarcomas and melanomas. The efficacy of the compounds of the invention as inhibitors of IGF-1R tyrosine kinase activity may be demonstrated using a cellular capture ELISA. In this assay, the activity of the compounds of the invention against (IGF-1)-induced autophosphorylation of the IGF-1R is determined.

The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the treatment and/or prevention of acute or chronic inflammatory diseases or disorders or autoimmune diseases e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, diabetes (type I and II) and the disorders associated therewith, respiratory diseases such as asthma or inflammatory liver injury, inflammatory glomerular injury, cutaneous manifestations of immunologically-mediated disorders or illnesses, inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin diseases (such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis and further eczematous dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis), s inflammatory eye diseases, e.g. Sjoegren's syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis or uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

Additional Processes for Making Compounds of the Invention

The compounds of the invention, including their salts, are also obtainable in the form of hydrates, or their crystals may include for example the solvent used for crystallization (present as solvates). Salts can usually be converted to compounds in free form, e.g., by treating with suitable basic agents, for example with alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, or alkali metal hydroxides, such as potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. In view of the close relationship between the novel compounds in free form and those in the form of their salts, including those salts that may be used as intermediates, for example in the purification or identification of the novel compounds, any reference to the free compounds hereinbefore and hereinafter is to be understood as referring also to the corresponding salts, as appropriate.

Salts of the inventive compounds with a salt-forming group may be prepared in a manner known per se. Acid addition salts of compounds of Formula (1), (2), (3A), (3B), (4A), (4B) or (5) may thus be obtained by treatment with an acid or with a suitable anion exchange reagent. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention may be formed, for example, as acid addition salts, with organic or inorganic acids, from compounds of Formula (1), (2), (3A), (3B), (4A), (4B) or (5) with a basic nitrogen atom.

Suitable inorganic acids include, but are not limited to, halogen acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or phosphoric acid. Suitable organic acids include, but are not limited to, carboxylic, phosphoric, sulfonic or sulfamic acids, for example acetic acid, propionic acid, octanoic acid, decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, -malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, amino acids, such as glutamic acid or aspartic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, methylmaleic acid, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, adamantanecarboxylic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, 4 aminosalicylic acid, phthalic acid, phenylacetic acid, mandelic acid, cinnamic acid, methane- or ethane-sulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 1,5-naphthalene-disulfonic acid, 2-, 3- or 4 methylbenzenesulfonic acid, methylsulfuric acid, ethylsulfuric acid, dodecylsulfuric acid, N cyclohexylsulfamic acid, N-methyl-, N-ethyl- or N-propyl-sulfamic acid, or other organic protonic acids, such as ascorbic acid.

For isolation or purification purposes, it is also possible to use pharmaceutically unacceptable salts, for example picrates or perchlorates. For therapeutic use, only pharmaceutically acceptable salts or free compounds are employed (where applicable in the form of pharmaceutical preparations).

Compounds of the invention in unoxidized form may be prepared from N-oxides of compounds of the invention by treating with a reducing agent (e.g., sulfur, sulfur dioxide, triphenyl phosphine, lithium borohydride, sodium borohydride, phosphorus trichloride, tribromide, or the like) in a suitable inert organic solvent (e.g. acetonitrile, ethanol, aqueous dioxane, or the like) at 0 to 80° C.

Prodrug derivatives of the compounds of the invention may be prepared by methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art (e.g., for further details see Saulnier et al., (1994), Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Vol. 4, p. 1985). For example, appropriate prodrugs may be prepared by reacting a non-derivatized compound of the invention with a suitable carbamylating agent (e.g., 1,1-acyloxyalkylcarbanochloridate, para-nitrophenyl carbonate, or the like).

Protected derivatives of the compounds of the invention may be made by means known to those of ordinary skill in the art. A detailed description of techniques applicable to the creation of protecting groups and their removal may be found in T. W. Greene, “Protecting Groups in Organic Chemistry”, 3^(rd) edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1999.

Compounds of the invention may be prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. Resolution of enantiomers may be carried out using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of the compounds of the invention, or by using dissociable complexes (e.g., crystalline diastereomeric salts). Diastereomers have distinct physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, etc.) and may be readily separated by taking advantage of these dissimilarities. The diastereomers may be separated by fractionated crystallization, chromatography, or by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. The optically pure enantiomer is then recovered, along with the resolving agent, by any practical means that would not result in racemization.

Wilen, “Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions”, John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981.

EXAMPLE 17 Methyl 4′-(5-chloro-4-(2-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenylamino)pyridin-2-ylamino)-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate (254)

Step 1: Methyl 4′-amino-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate

Methyl 4′-amino-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate; MS m/z 272.1 (M+1), may be synthesized following the procedures previously described (Example 7, Steps 1 and 2) using appropriate reagents.

Step 2: Methyl 4′-(4-bromo-5-chloropyridin-2-ylamino)-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate

Methyl 4′-amino-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate generated in Step 1 (200 mg, 0.75 mmol), 2,4-dibromo-5-chloropyridine (222 mg, 0.82 mmol, 1.1 equiv), Pd₂(dba)₃ (17 mg, 0.02 mmol, 0.025 equiv.), xantphos (22 mg, 0.04 mmol, 0.05 equiv.), and Cs₂CO₃ (365 mg, 1.1 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) are added to THF (5 mL). The resulting mixture is bubbled with N₂ gas for 5 minutes and then heated at 150° C. for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture is diluted into EtOAc and washed with H₂O. The EtOAc layer is dried over Mg₂SO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography (hexanes-EtOAc) affords Methyl 4′-(4-bromo-5-chloropyridin-2-ylamino)-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate; MS m/z 461.0 (M+1).

Step 3: Methyl 4′-(5-chloro-4-(2-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenylamino)pyridin-2-ylamino)-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate (254)

Methyl 4′-(4-bromo-5-chloropyridin-2-ylamino)-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate generated in Step 2 (9 mg, 0.022 mmol), 2-(isopropylsulfonyl)aniline (4 mg, 0.022 mmol, 1 equiv), Pd₂(dba)₃ (1.7 mg, 0.002 mmol, 0.1 equiv.), 2-(Dicyclohexylphosphino)-2′,4′,6′-tri-1-propyl-1,1′-biphenyl (1.8 mg, 0.004 mmol, 0.2 equiv.), and Sodium tert-butoxide (2.7 mg, 0.028 mmol, 1.3 equiv.) are added to THF (1 mL). The resulting mixture is bubbled with N₂ gas for 5 minutes and then heated at 150° C. for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture is diluted into EtOAc and washed with H₂O. The EtOAc layer is dried over Mg₂SO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography (hexanes-EtOAc) affords Methyl 4′-(5-chloro-4-(2-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenylamino)pyridin-2-ylamino)-5′-methoxy-2′-methylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate (254); MS m/z 580.2 (M+1).

Parental Ba/F3 cells are used to generate a panel of sublines whose proliferation and survival is rendered IL-3-independent by stable transduction with individual tyrosine kinases activated by fusion with the amino-terminal portion of TEL (amino acid 1-375) or BCR. In order to generate Ba/F3 cell lines transformed by Tel-Tyrosine Kinase (TK) fusions, parental Ba/F3 cells are infected with a retrovirus harboring each kinase domain and subjected to puromycin selection and IL-3 withdrawal to obtain IL-3-independent, transformed Ba/F3 cells.

Each transformed Ba/F3 cells are cultured in RPMI-1640 media (Gibco Cat #11875093, Carlsbad, Calif.) supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone Cat #SV30014.03, Logan, Utah), 4.5 g/L glucose (Sigma #G5400, St. Louis, Mo.), 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate (Biowhittaker #17-613E, Walkersville, Md.) and Pen/Strep (Gibco #10378-016, Carlsbad, Calif.). Cells are splitted twice weekly.

Ba/F3 Cell Viability Inhibition Assay

The potency of test compounds against various Tel-TK transformed Ba/F3 lines is determined as follows. Exponentially growing BaF3 Tel-TK cells are diluted in fresh medium to 75,000 cells/mL and seeded into 384-well plates (3750 cells/well) at 50 μL/well using a μFill liquid dispenser (BioTek, Winooski, Vt., USA). Duplicate plates are run for each cell line. Test and control compounds are serially diluted with DMSO and arrayed in a polypropylene 384-well plate. 50 mL of compound is transferred into the assay plates using a pin-transfer device, and the plates are incubated at 37° C. (5% CO2) for 48 hours. 25 μL Bright-Glo (Promega, Madison, Wis., USA) is added and luminescence is quantified using Analyst GT (Perkin Elmer, Wellesley, Mass.). Custom curve-fitting software is used to produce a logistic fit of percent cell viability as a function of the logarithm of inhibitor concentration. The IC₅₀ is interpolated as the concentration of compound needed to reduce cell viability to 50% of a DMSO control. Parental Ba/F3 cells that are maintained and cultured in presence of IL-3 (1 ng/ml in final) are diluted in fresh medium containing IL-3 (1 ng/ml in final) to 75,000 cells/mL following the same procedure as described above.

Kapas 299 Cellular Assay

Luciferized Karpas 299 (Karpas299-Luc) is generated by infecting retrovirus encoding luciferase gene, and cultured in RPMI-1649 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% P/S/L-Glu. At day 1, cells are harvested and resuspended at density of 150,000 cells/ml (cell number is measured using ViCell (BD). Cells are dispensed from a diluted suspension into a 384-well assay plate in 50 μl volume using gill (Bio-TEK). Serially diluted compounds (in DMSO) are transferred into plate using 50 mL pinhead. Assay plates are incubated at 37° C. for 48 hours. At day 4, 25 μl/well of Bright-Glo reagent (Promega) is added using gill (Bio-TEK). Within 30 minutes, a luciferase signal is measured using Analyst GT in default setting for luminescence detection.
